C., from this District, made the following logical and, interesting speech on the Appor- tionment Bill.) The CHAIRSLIN. When the com mittee rose yesterday the g,entlewan from Pennsylvania flit% 11jrcur] was entitled. to the floor. mil. 15'71 Mr. MERCUk Mr.- Chairman, during.the dit;eussion of this ques tion yesterday, several gentlemen in voked the power of the fourteenth amendment as hearing upon the whole question of aPportionment. A great qUestion does arise under this fourteenth amendment. It provides, . .$125,000. 40,000. in substance, ;that if any state denies the right of st.ffrage to any of its male inhabitants, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the 'Unit ed States, or in any way abridges the right to vote, except for participation in the rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the .proportion which the . number. of 6.1c1.1 main citizens shall bear " toi the !whole number of male citizens twerity-orte years of age in such state This fourteenth' amendment, like many other ports ofthe Constitution, does not enforce itself. It required N. N. BETTS. Js.. Cashier. legislation in order to give practical effect to its terms. Now, I take it upon myself to say that Congress has passed no law calculated to give ef- ect to the terms and restrictions of this fourteenth amendment first part of this second section of the fourteenth amendment provides that, " Represent at ices shalt 'oe apportioned among the several States ziccording to i kheir respective numbers, eont.tini: the wholo number of pert sons in each ::ate, excluding Indianl nut tax ed." A question arises whether the lan guage imposing this restriction is to receive a broad or stria construction I take it that when the object is,• or when the attempt is made to so use it as to abridge the right of' a State to representation upon this .floor, it should receive a strict construction. I do not think, however, that it is necessary to decide or determine now, for the purpose of di - Scussing this apportionment bill, precisely what class of cases were designed to be included in the Word "4enied." It appears to me, without very -much reflection upon that point, that the' position taken by the gentleman from gennessee [Mr. Maynard] yesterday, was well taken, that it meant - some th ng• beyond the power of the citi zen to control, anti that it did •not mean to -that class of restrictions which every State, fora:: own secu rity and its own protection, and for the purity of the ballot-box, saw pro per, to throw around it. But I say that Congress has failed to pass any law by which the number of the per sons referred to could be ascertained and determined. The Census Bureau has, in an imperfect manner sought to obtain that information; but they have proceeded and they have taken the census under the law of 1850. W. L. PMIDLETO!.: No law has been passed by Congress since the adoption of the fourteenth amendment providing any way or manner for ascertaining the number of pekons who were denied the right 10 suffrage. The law of 18,50, under which this census- was taken, is specific in its terms, and it has it.- corporated within it a list of tables or schedules,' some six. in number, giving the forms which shall bq sub mitted to the, assistant marshals, and which they snouldcause to be' filled. - - It might appear at first blush that these were merely directory, and that -under that law the Department of the Interior or the Superintendent of the census might modifiy and change them,- but,--by reference to the law of ISSO, it will be found that these tables, these . ] schedules, are made a part and parcel of the law, and have the same force and effect as if they were incorporated into it and formed a part of the text, as they in effect do form a part of the text of that law. They are. made so by. the twenty-second section of the act, which reads thus : d 3 4-38 dui:tailed, I 00 'do 3 50 do - 500 do 2 75 toZ UU do 2 GO tol 25 L. C. NELSON "The tables hereto anpexea, an S made part of this act, are nutnberedd from one to t.':x Thus sou see that they arc made a part of the act; and. have the same force and obligation =as uny other 'via of it. • The nett section, section twenty three, provides that unless the mode of taking the censusslaall be changed by law, the census shall continue to be taken and made in parsUance of, the same act. I will read the twenty third section. It is as follows : • .:"If no other law to passed providing for the taking of the eighth, or any subsequent c nsas of the United St‘tes, on or before the Ist day of January-of any year, when. by the Constitu tion of the United States, any future enutuera ti of the inhattAits.thereof is-required, to be taken, such e!,,..‹.is shall in all thing.; he, aken and compleTedaccording to the provis.ons of this act."

Then; iiithout any law, without any statutes without any act of Congress whatever, the Department of the Interior or the Superintendent of the Census ought to procure this additional informa tion. They thought it might •be right and proper, and afford some in formation that ,Nrould be of value, and hence in the reparation of their blanks they added a column to which I desire to call the . special attention of the House in order to show that in their attempt they have prepared it so imperfectly that, it affords no satisfactory, information b) thii House. I have in my har e d ` .Kie of the blanktewhich they p efiared, to which they - have ad eolutnita numbered , le i nineteen d twenty, I refer to this in order that members may, apply to these columns an• ex tract from the report of the Superirt-' endent of the Census, which I shall presently cause to be read. The gen eral heading of these •columns is "Constitutional Regulations." That they"have subdivided into two parts: one part,-NQ. 'l9, is-. headed "Male citizens of the United States of twen ty-one years Of. age and 'upward;" No. 20 is headed " 3lale citizens of the United States of twenty-one years of age and upward whose right to- rote is denied - or abridged on other grounds than rebellion or other crime." • Mr. 11A.LDEMAN. May I ask my colleague if those columns were not added in purattanee to an amend went of the act of 1850 that originat ed in the Senate, and was acceded to in this Howie ? ‘. Mr. MERCUR. I understand uot. I have arrived lit the opinion which I have from some careful examine tien of the - laws myself,' and from conferring with the Superintendent of the Census, who himself , told me there was no law authorizing them to do so. ' Now, I was proceeding to refer to these columns.: No. '2O, you will ob serre, makes-the assistant assessors the judges both of law and of fact a class-of men, in the main, illy qual ified to discharge those duties. If there had been any IfLW authmiziog it, I bare no doubt that law would have - been framed differently. To arrive at' ail intelligent result., a blank' form ought to have been prepared, containing numerous subdivisions, showing, (if any man said ho was disfranchised) the reason or ground upon which he said his disfranchise ment was',based. The facts should have been reported here, and then Congress would hare: determined whether those facts brought the in dividual within this clause. They should have'aseertained and report ed the facts only in separate columns, instead of.nttempting, as this column does, to combine both fact and law. EMI I am not disposed by tiny means to cenSure or find fault with the, Cen sus Bureau in this respect. The fault lies with Congress, if anywhere; for not having passed some law provid ing.- for th collection hf tffis informa tion. The Census Bureau has, how ever, taken it in an imperfect man ner„by which it appears that the male citizens of twenty-one years and upward in the United States, exclrel ing the Tertiteries,„titiacannt in the aggregate to 8,314,805, and thenum her of-citizens deprived of the right Of suffrage for other . causes than for participation in the rebellion or for crime-arnennts to 40,380. Those thus disfranchised are distributed among all the States in this Unfelt. The largest number is put down as being in' the State of MiSsouri, which is re ported'as containing • 9,205 persons thus disfranchised.- • Mr. FINCKEL.,NBUIIG. Will the gentleman allow me to interrupt him for a moment? ~ Mr. .MEIICI.II. Tes, sir. M. FINKELNBURG. I desire simply to r,tate here, by way of cor rection, that there is not a single per son disfranchised in the . State of Missouri. Ido not mean to say that thni showing arises from any, error of the Commissioner of the Census, but the fact is that it is an error;that no one' is. disfranchised. Mr.' 3IEPI;It. I was going to y make the stalement which the gentle man. from I.issouri • {Mr. Finkeln:, burg] lips nixie. ' I lia;Ve not under-' taken td say at this showil t' -, incor rect; my objects to show ;that it is 'all incorrect. Wint I' stated, and what I now rePet4, is that according to the information obtained by the Census Buretm,.c:s shown by-this re poet, there are nine - thonsand two hundred and ,sixty-live persons in the S . ate.of 3lissburi thus disfranchised. -The next highest in number is Rhode Island, with two thousand eight hun dred and thirty-live persons thugs dis franchised; and it goes On clown un til some Stags have but a few hun dred, and sane of them lesg than one hundred so-disfranchised. The point I desire to make is that this whole table is utterly inaccurate:, it is not reliable; 1 it is not made it. pursnanee of any law; it is without weight, and consideration is not giv en to it at the Departnient. '',ln this connection I send to the Clerk's ta ble and ask to,haie read an extract from the report of the Commissioner of the Census._ That. reporting not yet been printed, it ,is at the Gov ernment Prnting Office. But the Superintendent Of the Census Las kindly furnished me with this extract, which Containt his views and his Opinions in rilo.rd to this matter. -, The Clerk r6adl as follows:. .

The in formation is of a kind never before obtained in the country, and has certainly an important bearing upon plitical -philosophy and politleal history in the United States. 'Mr. MERCUtt. -I also send to the Clerk's desk and ask to have read an extract from'a communication receiv ed by this. House yeiterday from the Secretary of the Interior, covering a portion of the same ground. The Clerk read as follows: • "It Ss necessary tostate,in transmitting these tables, that the Department is disposed to give but little credit to the. returns made by ass's:- sit marshals in regani to the denial or abridg ment of suffrage. The 'unfavorable judgment of the Department In respect to this single class of statistics is formed, first, from the ailithee - : tion of certain statistical tosts,and second, from a consideration of the agencies employed,which aro not deemed adequate to the determination of the numerous questions of difficulty 'and uicetv which are involved," Mr. 3IERCUR. Uri Chairman; that is all that I desire to say upon the question which arises on the ap plication of the fourteenth atnend ment of the Constitution: I now wish to say a fbw words bearing up on the substitute and the amend ments, 'When I had the honor to address the House a few - days ago, I had not since last session refreshed my recollection in regard to - all the intermediate steps by which I arriv ed at the ratio of representation. I gave the starting'point and the coti elusion, but I omitted some part of I the intermediate = process, which would hare' made the manner in which I arrived at it more clear and specific. In the first place, the. Union now consists of thirty-seven StateS. Four of those States, Delaware, Nevada, Nebraska, and Oregon, have each a population so small that, but for the express provision of the Constitution that each State shall . . have at least_ one Representative, they would not be entitled to a Representative on this flobr under any apportionment: I start out by giving to each of those States one member. That disposes of them. There remain thirty-three States. I ascertained by successive "experiments--by dividing by a small er number and by a larger number— Zwhat would bring out a result of bout two hundred and eighty mem ,'‘ •rs. Permit me to say that I think two hundred and eighty members are about the number that appeared to meet the approval of this House. We should not have too small a num ber; we should not have too large a number. Too small a number im poses duties to onerous upon each of the House; for I need not; say to any member who has long sat upon this floor thathis duties here are two fold. One portionof them is to par ticipate in the. legistatisni of the country; another portion is to repre sent his constituents before- the sev ,eral Departments-of the Government in this city; and it takes about as ranch of the Representative's time to do the latter as to discharge his offi cial ditties in this House. Having these .thirty-three • States to dispose of; and desiring not to it,- nore large fractions, I set about ex perimenting as towhat_ number of inhabitants would, if adopted as the ratio, ,best reach that end. I found that by taking as the ratio represen tatfan 137,800, and dividing the pop ulation of each of the thirty-three States by that number, it 'gave in even numbers two hundred and fifty eight members. Adding these two hundred and fifty-eight members to the four given to the smaller States increased the number to two hula , dred and sixty-two Members. I then examined the fraction which each- State had after dividing • its whole population by 137,000. There must be, I thought, some dividing line where a fraction ifvery large ought, as appeared to me, to be rep resented; where the fraction, was small, it did not seem necessary that it should be. On looking over the fractions remaining in these thirty three States, I found that eighteen of them had each a fraction greater than one-half of 137,000, while thir teen States had fractions less than one-half of that number. Therefore, where the fraction was less than one halt, I allowed no additional member to other States; but in .every case where the fraction was heater- than oue-half, I allowed' an 'additional member. "Now, Some pers6ns appear to have the idea thatby the allowance of this fraction with reference to particular States, some partiality is Shown; and I observe that one of the newspapers states that Pennsylvania gets an ad ditional member in consequence of thwfraction. It is true she does; but eighteen States get an additional member because iuk consequence of having a fraction greater than one half. Those States are Maine, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island,- Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,Pennsylvania, Maryland , . Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Kent7i4y Arkansas, Mich igan, Texts, lowa, l Wisconsin, and Kansas. Adding the additional members of those eighteen States to the two hundred and sixty-two that I had previously procured, the whole number was brought up'io two bun- Bred and eighty. But the bill presented here by the entlmati from Illinois as amended by.liire seeks to gict further. It seeks to disregard this divisional line as to whether they have a fraction greater than a moiety of the ratio or not,and seeks to give an additional member each to Illinois, Missonri,,and Ohio.' Now, I feel regret at being compelled to antagonize, our friends in those great States. It seems to me that the line of division we have adopted is the true one, and just as soon and ns often h. ‘r.• &Tilt from it we will lay ourselvc. ha— • . i !iality and injustice to the other states. Mr. FARNSWORTH. I ask the ,gentleman to yield to me ,for mo !meat. p MERCER. I will do so fdr a question.. - Mr. FARNSWORTH. I know the gentleman from, Pennsylvania does not intend to misrepresent any one. I understand him to state that the bill presented or advocated by me disregards the fraction of more than a moiety in the uses of Ohio,Misson xi, and Illinois. , Mr., IHEROUR. The gentleman understands me correctly when he adopts my line of division. . Mr. FARNSWORTH. That•is not what I mean. • 11IriXERCUR. That is what I have been disenstring. =_ Mr. FARNSWORTH. I do not adopt his ratio. Ido not anybody's ratio. I take thi filzures. I take the population. I take two hundred and eighty to start with, as , he does; but when you adopt two hundred and eighty you will find that some_States haVA fractions entitling them to an other member. Yon cannot make it precisely two hundred and eighty., Mr. MERCUR. Excuse me if I do not yield further to the gentleman. He says he divides by 280, but he does not - stop with two hundred and eighty. He ends.by making his bill two hundred and eighty-three. I , wish to point out the injustice to which. t leads. Let us cite the case of Ohio. Adopting my ratio, the State of Ohio would have a fraction .•af 47,060. - He seeks to give her an additional member. Yet under my ratio the State Vermont has a frac tion of 54,951, a larger , fraction than the State of Ohio. Notwithstanding the fact, the gentleman from Illinois would give Ohio an additional.inem ber and leave Vermont without one. I say whenever : you depart from that true line, - excluding all those which have less thtip a moiety, you- do in justice to some State. You cannot carry it out On any other fixed rule and - do justice to all the States. • It seems to me the question for the House to settle is haw many mem here you desire this House to be composed of. ! If you desire it to be I composed of two hundred and ty, then the bill I have had the hon or to present makes it two, hundred and eighty, 'and gives to each State which has ,a fraction greater than one-half an additional member, and withholds 'an additional member from those -Which have less. It is true von can assume some other ra- tio. Youcan take some other basis. If this House, shall say it shall con sist of two hundred and eighty-three members, then the gentlema.n would be right in giving to three States an additional member; that is, he would be . right so far as he goes, but he would be s rong in this, that is, in stopping, because the State of Ver mont has a greater fraction than the State of Ohio. So, Mr. Chairman, it appears to n the great question first to be determined is, how many members do we desire the House of Representatives shall hcfreafter con sist of? If it is to consist of two hundred and eighty, I submit, no ' fairer, no more just, no more equita ble apportionment can be made than that contained in the substitute I have had the honor to submit.

No eine' , could be found bold•enough to defend her, and the tribunal Was obliged itself to appoint counsel. It was on a dull October morning that she was con ducted from the Conciergerie through the dark winding passages of the an- cient monastery in which the trials •were held. The Hall of the Concen- tion, is a large, gloomy apartment with sparse and narrow windows, through the dusty panes. of Which the dull yellow light without creeps slug gishly. A'few dimly-lit lanters are bcattered here and there, but the at mosphere is heavy and foggy, and half the hall is indistinct and full of shadows. On the • lower benches sit the butchers' with their blood- stained . aprons,and long,tharp knives 'gleaming in their belts. Above them sit the, : laicot9,ses—lerrible as the Parete - --weaving thco weft of fate ; some have cards in their hands, up- on which, by the prick of a pin, they count the votes for and against as they are declared from the tribuno. Everywhere are scattered scowling/ faces eager for the blood of the un happy woman. From without come the murmurs of the savage crowd, threatening death to those deputies who dare to vote against the con demnation of '..l'Autrichienne ; and as the doors open and shut, their stir and fierce cries surge heavily into the Court. The trial lasts three days. On the last day-the proceedings be gin at noon andlast until 4 the nest morning.

Burning with thirst, she begs for a drink of water; no one dares to stir,least he should be mark.: ed as a sliver , .

The indictments against, her are nu merous,_some absurd ; for instance, one charge is the number of shoes she has worn out The money she has distributed in chairty is charged against her as bribes to buy over the people. To all her answers are calm, simple, and concise. At length Her bert accuses her of having, corrupted her- own child. At that horrible charge a shudder runs throUgh the Court. She is silent, 'that-the mus cles of her face quiVer. The question is pressed, and then, with a heaving breast, she turns upon- her. accuser with sublime indignation, crying.

I attempted to rise from the chair, but fell to the floor with con vulsions- in the - lower extremities. Unsuccessful attempts were made to bathe my feet in hot water, each ef fort to raise me bringing on a violent paroxyism, in the last one of which I thought my jaws had become un hinged.

Those terrible cramps seemed.to be descending towards my lower limbs. A feeling of relief stole. over me, and I began' to be again conscious. From that time I resum ed when I was entire• ly free from Camp, with the excep tion of a little in the feet. I had but one attack of .cramps, afterwards, which was immediately telieve'd by a dose administered - by my wife—the doctor having left for a short time, and when he returned I;felt that the poison was completely neutralized.

TH E Foa THE BOYS. - Henry Ward Beecher has written this : I never saW anybody do anything that I did not watch . him, and see how he done it, for there is no telling but that some time I might have to do it my self. ' I was going across a prairie once; my horse began to• limp. Luckilyi came across a blacksmith's _ shop, but the smith was not at home. I asked the woman of the house if - she would allow me toitart a fire and make the shOe. She said I 'might if I knew how; so I started- a fire and heated the shoe red hot, and turned it to fit my horse's foot, and• pared the hoof, and turned the points ' of the nails out cunningly, as I had seen the .blacksmith do, so that .in driving into the hoof they should not go in to quick, and shod ' the - horse. At the next place I to, I went straight to 'a smith, and told him to put the 'shoe on properly: He looked at the horse's foot, and paid me the _greatest compliment I had . ever re ceived - in my life. He told me if I put on that shoo I hid better follow blaekianithing all my life. Now, I `never 'should have known 'how - to do this if ,I had not looked on, and seen others do it: Joys or Ciummoon---Ah, who would not be a child to morrow ?
